Fatty liver is one of the most common ailments of our time; at least 1 out of 10 people have it. As with other recent metabolic diseases, fatty liver is related to lifestyle, including physical activity levels and stress.  Metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity share prevalence in most medical statistics. Like high blood pressure and other metabolic disorders, fatty liver can go unnoticed. Only medical intervention aided by laboratory and imaging resources can provide a solid diagnosis.  One very important fact is that after this is discovered, it can be entirely reversed if we act right, but it can also progress to advanced stages that will become untreatable.

The liver is an organ with complex resources; called the “biochemist” of the body, our liver is resilient and capable of facing problems and, more important, solving them.

BioCare’s quest for well-being has had the liver as a vital piece of the equation. Our doctors explore all possible areas of damage, from metabolic to infectious. We know how vital an efficient liver function is to the whole body. General blood work is essential, but for many years a reticuloendothelial profile test called the Augusti Profile has provided timely information about liver performance and possible damage years before any symptoms. Early diagnosis puts you ahead of metabolic disturbances and ongoing, progressive disease.
